My husband and I have just voted. Our ballot papers arrived with this mornings mail, we have filled them in and put them in the envelopes. They will be put in the post box later on.

Possibly elements of both, with added lies.

Speaking as somebody who wants to keep the UK in the EU and the UK in one piece, I see no result that would allow both goals to be met and I think the most likely outcome is that neither will be met.

Sadly I think you are correct. :(

I wouldn't mind if Irish reunification happened as a result but I can't see that happening peacefully so even that is problematic.

For whatever reason when I hear Boris say:

"Get Brexit Done"my mind does a peculiar segue into "We've Only Just Begun" by The Carpenters.

Which is really fucking annoying because Boris has managed to ruin that pleasure too.

So it looks like the lying racist thug that is the PM is going to refuse to be interviewed by Andrew Neil. Colour me in no way surprised that he's a coward

Surprised none of the parties have come up with the election slogan "2020 Vision". Now that I have, I offer it free of charge to Labour or the Greens, but if the tories, the Lib Dems or Brexit dare to use it I'll sue the bastards for breach of copyright. You are my witnesses that I invented it.

Having Irish as well as British citizenship, I think Irish reunification would be a good thing, but I doubt it would happen, and it would be unlikely to be peaceful.

I think there is a trend - the squeeze on the Lib Dems might be similar to last election, possibly helped by Swinson's lack of performance. It's been suggested that if the Tory lead falls below 7 % then it might be a hung parliament. Part of me would find it funny if we are back with the same numbers.

Boris has asked Trump not to endorse him as his favourite candidate, when he infests the UK next week. No doubt a Trump endorsement could lose the Tories some votes.

The outlook doesn't look good. The key seems to be traditional Labour voters who voted for Leave. What Labour needs to get across is that the changes they wanted are on offer and brexit itself and BJ don't bring them any closer.

Then there's also the distrust of Corbyn as leader - they can't counteract that without better hitting public support from the now older New Labour figures - Yvette Cooper, Hillary Benn, Millibands - & those that left the shadow cabinet earlier. Ie. Demonstrating that he will have a full, competent, team to make sure the plans are implementable and implemented. 

Probably all too late anyway, imo.

Trump said his ideal would be Boris and Nigel as joint PMs.

Disappointed in Stanley. He may find it difficult to face facts about his beloved son but he shouldn't have made such a scathing comment about the general public. We ain't all ignorami.
